To. all 'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that we, MAX GRAY and 'BEN- JAMIN HARRIS, citizens of the United States, and residents of New York, in the county New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vehicle-Tires, of whichthe following is a specification.

he object of this invention is to provide which will resist puncture and attriwhich will not skid on wet surfaces. We obtain this object by providing de armor segments which t into corresponding recesses in the outer shoe of the tire and are held in place by means of screws passing through holes in the outer shoe which are screwed into threaded holes in a locking or anchor plate placed on the inside of the shoe.

One of the features of our invention is that the outer armor is divided into a number of segments around the circumference,

thereby insuring independent action of each Y.

segment and resiliency to the tires.

@ther features of our device will he a parent from the detailed description and the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specication, in which similar numerals indicate corresponding parts in all the iigures and in which- Figure l is a cross section of a tire; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of a portion of a tire and taken on line 2-2 ci Fig. l; Fig.

`3 is a longitudinal section ofthe outer shoe,

and Fig. 4C is a longitudinal section showing portions of two segments of the protecting armor. Y

Referring to the drawings,

the outer shoe l is provided with recesses in its outer surover the full length of their respective cir'- cumferences. The channel portions 6 of the armor 5 fit into the recesses 2 in the shoe l, while the curved anchor plates 7 lit into the recesses 3 in the shoe l. 4The plates 7 are provided with hollow internally threaded pins 8 which lit into the holes 4' in the shoe l. he armor 5 is held in place by means of the screws 9 which pass through the holes 10 in the armor 5 and are then screwed into the threaded holes in the pins 8. The armor 5 is divided into a number of segments thus permitting the tire to be resil' it will be noted that the armor is prevented rom creeping along the circumfer ence oi the shoe by means of the grooves 2, the pins 8 and the anchor plates 7.

i'ter all the segments of armor are attached, the inner casing 11, preferably made of rubber is inserted into the recess provided in the inside of the shoe l, as is clearly shown in Fig. l, thus providing a smooth surface for the inner or pneumatic tube.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and wish to secure by Letters Patent:

l. in a vehicle tire, the combination of an outer shoe having a series of recesses in its outer surface and a series of recesses in its inner surface, a corrugated tread, encircling said outer shoe having projections in its under surface adapted to it into the recesses in the outer surface of the outer shoe, a series of anchor plates adapted to cesses in the inner surface of the shoe and means Jfor attaching the corrugated tread to said anchor plates.

2. in a vehicle tire, the combination of an outer shoe having a series of recesses in its outer surface, a series of recesses in its inner surface and a series of radial holes, a corrugated tread encircling said outer shoe hav ing projections in its under surface adapted to nt into the recesses in the outer ci the outer shoe, a series of anchor plates adapted to ht into the recesses in the inner surface of the shoe, threaded pins rigidly iixed to said anchor plates adapted to iit into the radial holes in the anchor plates, comprising screws passing through holes in said tread and engaging with said threaded pins.

3. ln a vehicle tire, the combination of an outer shoe having a series ci recesses in its outer surface fand a series ci recesses in its inner surface, a corrugated tread encircling said outer shoe consisting ot1 a plurality of independent tions having projections in its under surface adapted vto tit into the recesses in the outer surface of the outer shoe, a series of anchor plates adapted to fit into the recesses in the inner surface of the shoe and means for attaching the corrugated tread to said anchor plates.

4. In a vehicle tire, the combination of an outer shoe having a series 'of recesses in its outer surface and a series of recesses in its inner surface, a metal tread encircling said outer shoe having projections in its under tit into the rea surface sections, each of said secsurface adapted to fit into the recesses in the outer surface ofthe outer shoe, a. series o anchor plates adapted to it into theI recesses in the inner surface vof the shoe and means for attaching the metal tread to said anchor' plates.

5. In a vehicle tlre, the combination of an outer shoe having a series of recesses in its outer surface and a series of recesses 1n its inner surface, a metal tread encircllng 4 said outer shoe consisting of a plurality of the inner surface of the shoe and means for attaching the metal tread to said anchor plates.

6. In a vehicle tire,

resilient shoe having the combination of a a series of recesses -in its outer surface and a series of recesses in its inner surface, a removable tread khaving proJections 1n its under surface adaptshOe, and means for mames ed to face of the shoe, anchoring members located ,onthe inner surface ofthe shoe, having projections adapted to t into th`e recesses in the'inner surface of said shoe, and means for attachingthe tread to said anchoring members.

outer shoe having a continuous peripheral depression in its outer surface and a ,series of recesses in its inner surface, a removable fit into said recesses in the outer sur-j 7. In a vehicle tire, the combination of uan tread encircling said outer shoe adapted to fit into said depressionl in the outer shoe, anchoring members said shoe having projections adapted to it into the recesses in the inner surface of 'said attaching the tread to v said anchoring members.

located on the inside of Signed at New York, 1n the vcounty of New York, yand. 'State Vof New York, Vthis 25th day of August, A. D. 1916.
